He described the recipient of the ”Ugwumba 1″ title as the pride of the people and urged him to work closely with other chiefs in the kingdom in order to promote the culture of the people as well as to maintain peace and order across the entire Kingdom.
“Today, your people are happy with you on what you are doing. You are our shining light; you should continue to be a true ambassador of the kingdom. Your title means the pride of the people. Why you are recognised today, please, continue to protect and defend your people and be a mentor to others and be truthful and fearless. You are entitled to all the privileges and rights accorded to all traditional rulers in the kingdom and the entire Etche nationality”, he stated.
